Lukashenka adds some types of school attire to list of children's goods subject to reduced VAT rate
Alyaksandr Lukashenka, by his June 21 presidential edict, added some types of school attire to the list of children's goods subject to a reduced,10-percent, VAT rate, the Belarusian leader's press office said.
According to it, the extended application of the reduced rate will bring down the prices of children's goods and help improve the living standards of families raising children, the press office said.
The edict also authorized the agriculture ministry and the State Standardization Committee to decide on ranking food items as delicatessens, which will help resolve disputes over the application of the 10-percent rate, the press office said. //BelaPAN
